The making of flower cakes was no secret, and Concubine Li did not hide it. She said, "First, collect the edible petals, and then wash them with cold boiled water."

"After washing, dry it, but don't put it in the sun. Put it in a cool and ventilated place, and turn it over a few times in the middle."

"After drying, pour the petals and an equal amount of cane sugar together and rub them together. While keeping the petals intact, rub out the juice."

"Then pour the petals into a small jar and press them down, then pour a layer of honey on it to seal it. After sealing it, place it in a cool place for a month."

"Fry the glutinous rice flour over low heat until it turns slightly yellow, then filter the rose jam through a mesh and mix it to make the filling."

"The main difficulty in making flower cakes is the rose paste. The rest is similar to the usual butter-crust cakes. Basically any pastry chef who can make white pastry can make it."

"If you don't want to make it, you can come once every spring and autumn. I should have prepared some sauces by then."

"But I can probably only make this one dish at a time."

"There aren't many edible flowers, and the flowers in the Imperial Garden can't be picked. In my small building, I can only make about 20 in half a year."

Li Liuli was stunned when she heard this. It took half a year to make twenty or so? She looked at the flower cake in front of her... She ate it even more happily.

It is impossible to feel guilty and it is impossible to repay.

But she stopped after eating four flower cakes.

She planned to pack the remaining three and take them back to her three younger sisters at home.

That’s right, they are the three little ones: Fu Yanyu, Fu Baozhu and Jia Xichun.

As a good sister, it is my duty to pamper my foodie sister.

"Not bad, it's delicious." Li Liuli touched his full stomach and continued, "I'll come back to eat it in the fall."

Princess Li: ...

"You are really different from them."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Li smiled slightly, her smile was calm and distant.

But being able to make Concubine Li smile is already an extremely rare thing.

"I won't eat your food for nothing. I'll take you out of the palace to play in a couple of days."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Li was stunned and looked at Li Liuli in disbelief, with surprise in her eyes.

Leaving the palace? For a moment, her calm eyes also showed some movement.

How long has it been since she last saw the outside world? "Is it really okay? Will it not have any effect on you?"

"Who do you think can? This palace is my home now."

"But you definitely can't go out in this outfit. I'll bring you some men's clothes later. You'll also have to change into eunuch clothes when you go out."

"Don't worry, I'll have someone prepare a new one for you."

"But I definitely can't leave you alone outside. I'll follow you when the time comes."

When Concubine Li heard Li Liuli say this, she was sure that Li Liuli was serious and nodded.

"Thank you. I haven't been out for a long time."

Li Liuli stepped forward, looked at Concubine Li and said seriously: "You are different from them, so I don't want to do anything to you. I only ask you one thing. As long as you do this well, you can do whatever you want in the future."

"If you want to leave the palace, you can come find me."

Concubine Li was startled and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Li Liuli smiled upon hearing this and said, "Serve my husband well. I know this may be a little difficult for you, so start by never refusing."

"I hope you won't let me down. To be honest, I really want to be good sisters with you."

Concubine Li was stunned again when she heard this, because she had no choice. Li Liuli had threatened her with her own tribe before, so she had no choice at all.

This... was clearly forced upon her, but she did not for a moment have any thoughts of rebellion.

Concubine Li looked at Li Liuli, seeming to be hesitant to speak, and did not utter a word for a long time. Until she heard a noise outside, Concubine Li looked at the teacup and replied casually.

"I'll try my best!"

Although the voice was small, Li Liuli was already a first-class master, so he could hear it clearly.

Great, one more little sister.

Um, no, it’s the older sisters.

Qin Zhaorong, Wu Zhaoyi and others came forward and immediately nodded to Li Liuli to show their goodwill.

Although several of them were controlled by her, their identities were there. It would be wrong if they bowed to Li Liuli.

"Princess, here we come."

"Um."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Li Liuli responded, but did not let them sit down. She asked expressionlessly, "Did you go to see my aunt?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhaorong and others were stunned, looked at each other, and dared not speak.

But Wu Zhaoyi's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately said, "Princess, you misunderstood. We were just concerned about Concubine Hui, and we definitely didn't say anything we shouldn't have."

Li Liuli did not comment upon hearing this, but just looked at Wu Zhaoyi indifferently.

It was not until a trace of sweat appeared on Wu Zhaoyi's face that Li Liuli spoke: "Just do what you should do and wait. My husband and I will not miss you if you are not yours, and don't think too much about it if you are not yours."

"My husband will stay here tonight, so please serve him well."

"…Whether you are pregnant or not does not affect your status. Do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, the five people responded quickly, and no one dared to refute.

The pressure Li Liuli brought to them was too great, no less than that of the late emperor.

At this time, Li Liuli stood up, walked in front of Wu Zhaoyi, and said, "It can be seen that you are the smartest among them... Remember my words and take good care of them. This palace and my husband will not treat you unfairly."

"Also, you don't need to worry about Concubine Li."

After Li Liuli finished speaking, she turned around and walked out without waiting for Wu Zhaoyi to speak.

As soon as Wu Zhaoyi responded, Li Liuli suddenly remembered something, turned around and took away the plate of pastries on the table.

Concubine Li: ...You really didn’t forget to pack.

Wu Zhaoyi and others: ...What kind of confusing behavior is this? After Li Liuli returned to Ganlu Palace, Li Xiuzhu saw the palace maid behind Li Liuli holding a lunch box and thought it was the dinner that Li Liuli had prepared.

Li Xiuzhu blinked and said, "Isn't it still an hour before dinner time? Are you hungry?"

The moment Li Liuli saw Li Xiuzhu, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"That's it. I forgot to leave some for my husband."

"I'm sorry, sisters, Yanyu, Baozhu, Xichun, I'm sorry for you. It's not that I don't want to take care of you, it's just that I made a mistake."

Li Liuli's mind raced, and she said, "I just went to Concubine Li's place and ate a fresh flower cake. It was crispy, delicious, sweet and sticky, so I brought it back for my husband to try."

Li Liuli looked at Concubine Hui and continued, "But Auntie, please don't eat it, because it's a fresh flower, and I'm not sure if it will have an impact on the fetus in your belly."

Many flowers, plants and trees are medicinal. So Li Liuli's worry is not unreasonable.

Concubine Hui smiled when she heard this. Although she was curious about what it tasted like, she would definitely not take risks with her child.
